A cartel of organised criminals including several prominent bikie gangs has ordered cocaine dealers around the nation to freeze supply in a bid to reverse a recent slump in the price of the popular party drug.
Those who break ranks and continue to flood the market with high-quality cocaine face serious consequences, according to leaked internal messages obtained by this masthead which also quote Warren Buffett and Henry Ford.The messages shared on encrypted apps reveal a plan by the cartel to stop the distribution of large shipments of cocaine for the next four weeks to inflate prices and expose overseas traffickers attempting to undercut local suppliers.
“The ounce people will raise the market for us,” one message reads. “As the supply tightens there [sic] prices will rise from being where we are at now.”The message, which has been widely distributed among criminal networks, cites famed US industrialist Henry Ford. Police intelligence suggests Albanian crime networks have been flooding the Australian market with cheap cocaine in a bid to control the lucrative trade.
In the messages, the cartel directly points the finger at overseas players for the slump, accusing Albanian, Canadian, South American and British organised crime networks of trying to undercut local dealers.
